Warm Bodies

One of the qualities I really liked about Warm Bodies was the idea of redemption. Different from most zombie films, including 28 Days Later, Warm Bodies show the more humane nature of zombies and the notion that zombies can turn good. This was an intriguing approach to the film, making zombies seem nicer than usual and able to fall in love, showing that they retain some of their human qualities from their previous life. In films like 28 Days Later, zombies are shown to lose their human self in a few moments after they are infected, so people tend to kill the infected without hesitation. I actually really liked how the humans and the zombies in Warm Bodies, team against the Bonies, which are skeleton-esc creatures that have completely lost their humanity and go about ravaging on humans. This idea that the zombies are on the humans' side and that there were beings that are far more dangerous, which ultimately led to the end of the apocalypse. The zombies are accepted back into society and they become more and more human. R, ends up bleeding, showing that he indeed was human, or shall I say, more human. Overall, Warm Bodies had a very interesting approach to the typical zombie film, which I readily enjoyed.
